It's meant as a shorthand for "hex-encoded bytes".
- userbinator 12y agoYou're really just interpreting bytes as characters in a different character set. "Visualizing hex bytes" suggests something slightly different, like using an emoji for each of the digits 0-9 and A-F (not much unlike the other proposals for writing hex digits, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bruce_Martin_hexadecimal_notation_proposal.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bruce_Martin_hexadecimal_n... .)
